Dive into Python, an excellent tutorial has a case study on this very

The biggest problem that nobody has mentioned yet is the fact that
group() will not have anything unless you explicitly tell it to group it.
group() defaults to returning group 0 which is the whole match.
>>> import re
>>> string = 'My phone is 410-995-1155'
>>> pattern = r'\d{3}-\d{3}-\d{4}'
>>> re.search(pattern,string).group()
'410-995-1155'
